Maternity Picture Sneak Peek

A few months ago I was talking to my sweet friend Ashley back home in Texas and she asked me if we were planning to do maternity pictures. At that point I said no...while I really wanted Tiffany with Uncommon Reel to do some when we were in Denver in May, there was just no way we could schedule it with Alex in town for only a few days and the packed schedule we had...and I didn't know anyone out here to contact so had just decided that we would skip them.

Fast forward a few months...in thinking back my conversation with Ashley something she said kept coming back to my mind. Maternity pics were not necessarily about the pictures for us, but rather for our girls. She knows Alex and I do not plan to undergo more fertility treatments in the future so this truly could be our only chance. Then she went on to tell me how her daughters absolutely love to see pics of when they were in her belly...and that is all I needed to hear...I was sold.

I found D Marie Photography via the Twins Club I joined and Alex and I had a blast on our photo shoot with her last week. She has a fabulous sense of humor, paid no notice to our often sometimes inappropriate comments and overall we had a great time on a gorgeous evening. We took a ton of pics that I can't wait to see but for now we have to settle on a few sneak peeks:

We can't wait to see the finished product and more pics!! We did 5 outfit changes and walked all over God's creation this nature preserve all in about 1 hr 20 mins. I was exhausted by the end of it but it's well worth it given the keepsakes we'll be able to give our girls.

Finally, we are on the final countdown!!! I am scheduled for a c-section on July 27th (I'll be 38 weeks) in case these girls have not voluntarily vacated their leased space by then. They will be officially evicted that morning at 8am. I stalk my personal countdown timer daily....well actually several times daily. I am secretly hoping they appear on their own time just a little early...not too early but maybe 7-10 days before we're scheduled for surgery. It's getting tougher and tougher just to do everyday things and my ribcage is severely bruised on my right side from Baby B's constant headbutting me (she is going to be the little lady who gives me a run for my money I can already tell). Symptoms and not-so-fun-side-effects aside I still would not change a thing. I have been very lucky with a great pregnancy so cannot complain!

All in all, we just cannot wait to hold these miracle babies in just a few short weeks!!
